Side note : I was at the Bears/Ravens game today (what a weather nightmare) and was sitting right next to the visiting team tunnel, and was able to tell Flacco " Fuck you, you suck Fucco" right to his face... So worth sitting through the rain

Is it bad that my first thought was, "Dang, I'll bet we drop down another slot in the draft next year?"

This.

Mrs. is still keeping the faith, doesn't much care about draft spots or the long view. My thinking is 9-7 or 10-6 are absolutely going to be necessary, especially with the Jets and Fins sitting at 5 wins and Ravens, Browns, Bills, Tits, Chargers, and Raiders all tangled at 4 wins. Could be done with 9-7 if head-to-head (Jets) comes into play, but bottom line, you have to be (virtually) perfect, and the Steelers haven't shown that. Big win against the Lions, but would not surprise me in the least to drop one to the Brownies or Fins or something stupid like that.

I've tried to root for the draft pick, but I just can't. I'm not under any illusion that this team can win a championship but I'm still rooting for that extra week of football. Given that the 6 seed would play either Indy or Cincy, I could see a round one victory before the massacre at the hands of New England or Denver.

Of course, we'll probably just blow it in Cleveland, 8 turnover style. That would sum up this season nicely.
